The Golden Grizzlies’ standout has been an almost omnipresent force in the Summit League for his three seasons, and he’s going to be back for his senior campaign after playing a nation’s best 94.8 percent of available minutes last season.

Being on the floor so much also enables Bader to be the nation’s most eager three-point shot taker. Last season, Bader launched an incredible 360 three-pointers, and has attempted 886 of them in his career. Good for the Grizzlies, Bader is also a very good marksman from the arc. His 38.6 percent success rate last season is the worst of his three seasons. He lit up IUPUI last season for 11 threes on his way to 47 points.

The 6'5" guard also makes a lot happen from the line. He is in the top 25 in the nation in FT Percentage (88.6 percent) and FTs Made (179).

5. Yogi Ferrell: Indiana

Indiana’s Yogi Ferrell landed in Bloomington with the reputation of being a true point guard.

He had proven himself in high school to the degree that whether or not he would start as a Hoosier freshman was never in question.

Ferrell did a fantastic job of directing traffic on last season’s third-best scoring team (80 PPG) that featured stars like Cody Zeller, Victor Oladipo, Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls.

And, with super sixth man Will Sheehey coming off the bench, Ferrell was relegated to the restrictive role of facilitator. Ferrell, the 2012-13 team’s No. 6 scorer, only tallied double figures in 12 of IU’s 36 games.

While the rising sophomore should play a more significant part in Indiana’s scoring scheme this season, there are no guarantees.

Head coach Tom Crean brought in an impressive 2013 recruiting class that will get instantly plugged in. It will be one of Ferrell’s chief continuing objectives for 2013-14 to get all the newcomers involved.

Watching to see if Ferrell’s role expands will be an interesting story to follow.

2. Quinn Cook: Duke

Duke’s Quinn Cook is an outstanding player who deserves more props than he is currently receiving.

As a freshman, Cook was an irregularly used as a backup who was never at full capacity because of injuries.

The most notable of his first-year stats was his assist-to-turnover ratio, which was an outrageous 3.5 (63 assists with only 18 turnovers).

Last year as a sophomore, the 6’1” PG from D.C. locked down the starting job, averaging a more-than-solid 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

In most cases, those are the kinds of numbers that help you stand out and get recognized. However, Cook was no better than the No. 4 (maybe No. 5) option in last year’s Blue Devils attack. When you play with the likes of seniors Mason Plumlee, Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly, what do you expect?

Atkins is one of the most efficient point guards in the nation. A junior, he plays with tremendous poise and pace, and it is very difficult to speed him up and force him into mistakes. Atkins is a good shooter, knocking down 49 percent of his field goals and 44 percent of his 3-point shots. He's also an excellent passer who ranks seventh in the nation in assists and has a 4-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Coach Mike Brey has referred to Atkins as among the best point guards in the country. He is right.

The only real hole in Atkins’ game is an odd shortcoming at the line, where he shot only 65.4 percent last season.
